5 Pretty Prolific(L) 2-4-4 Prado McPeek 118 7-2

Pretty Prolific is rested and firing bullets for first start since May 1; primed and ready. Secret Gypsy was a clear-cut winner in last and is 2-for-2 at Saratoga; big-time danger. Warbling was done in by hot fractions last time, but looms the main speed with aggressive ride.

7 Smokey Fire(L) 1-1-1 Castellano Attard 116 8-1

Majesticperfection had 44 days to recover since fast-paced and final- figured score last out; more to come. Bribon is fresh and will be in the catbird seat if fractions get fast and furious. Big Drama is speedy and owns fast figures; right in the thick of this.

Hennessy Light makes peak start of form cycle and packs strong kick on best. Moonwalk Beauty owns fast figures and fired crisp half-mile drill on Spa sod; big-time player. It's a Sham could play out as the controlling front-runner in return from two-month layoff. Strategic Sue logged swift late pace figure last time; amplified kick with cutback to sprint.
